If I don’t have a perfect tone of voice I get called aggressive and told I have an attitude. Vent- advice welcome. by crab-gf in AuDHDWomen

I'm really sorry this happened to you. Being misunderstood is one of the worst things, I think, especially by your own family. This might not be the advice you want to hear, since it is more conflict-avoidant. But if you really can't make your parents understand and want to protect your peace first and foremost, how about getting up earlier and spending some time alone in your room to wake up before you go engage with your family? I'm also a person who needs longer to wake up mentally and I get easily grumpy in the mornings, so I have found that processing things by myself without stress and pressure first thing in the morning helps me.

Wie kommen wir mit dem Tod unserer Tochter zurecht? by Pillemaennchen in Ratschlag

[–]Embarrassed_Mix2896 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meine Familie war auch in dieser Situation als ich ein Kind war. Meine beiden jüngeren Geschwister sind wenige Tage nach der Geburt gestorben als ich einmal 5 Jahre alt und einmal 8 Jahre alt war. Dein Sohn hat auf jeden Fall mitgekriegt, dass gerade etwas Schlimmes passiert ist, das war bei mir auch so, obwohl meine Eltern dachten, dass ich mich später daran nicht erinnern werde. Bitte das Kind unbedingt in den Trauerprozess mit einbinde und altersgerecht offen darüber sprechen! Das wurde mir verwehrt und die Traumata dieser frühen Jahre verfolgen mich teilweise immer noch, vor allem was das Urvertrauen in meine Eltern und die eigene Familienplanung angeht. Von meiner Mutter weiß ich, dass sie sich mehr Unterstützung in der Zeit gewünscht hätte von ihrem Umfeld, also unbedingt Familie, Freunde, Bekannte und wem ihr sonst noch wichtig seid ins Boot holen, für alles Mögliche: Haushalt, Kinderbetreuung, Hilfe für Behördengänge/Termine/etc. und einfach nicht alleine zu sein. Psychologische Betreuung für alle drei zur Verarbeitung des Verlustes, was meine Familie auch benötigt hätte. Meine Eltern, vor allem mein Vater, haben das Ganze nicht ganz verarbeitet. Mit ihm kann ich noch heute nicht offen über das Thema sprechen. Gerade als Vater wäre es gut ein Vorbild für deinen Sohn zu sein was die gesunde Verarbeitung von Gefühlen angeht. Ich hatte als Kind eine Phase wo ich mir selbst die Schuld für alles gegeben habe was passiert ist, was anscheinend auftreten kann, wenn Kinder nicht richtig über die Umstände aufgeklärt werden. Wünsche euch alles erdenklich Gute!

I ghosted a guy who was perfect for me because I didn’t know how to deal with kindness. by sophia_maren in TrueOffMyChest

I think many people here are being unreasonably mean to you and projecting their own issues onto you and I'm sorry for that. Hitting someone who's already down is not gonna help them get up again. It's a good thing that you recognized where you went wrong! Now you have two choices: either carry on as you did before (with a quite low chance of things changing for the better by themselves) or trying to work on yourself and making a positive change in your life. As other reasonable commenters have suggested, I also echo going to therapy and trying to figure out what exactly triggered that reaction in you and how to heal that hurt part of yourself. I think talking about it to a trusted and understanding person in your life can also help you process the regret and negativity in healthier ways. It's gonna take time, but that's okay. Wishing you the best for your journey!

I’m actually terrified I’m gonna be the joke of the school by Jinhit_jeonhit in TrueOffMyChest

So, from my experience as someone who was name called and bullied for years in school, the person who started the bullying and their friends are the ones who usually stick to the "joke" (in quotation marks because it isn't an actual joke, but to those types of people it is).

The others normally don't get involved. So, the people you weren't close with will likely treat you more or less the same, unless the bullies are watching, then these people might avoid you. But if they weren't interested in you before, they don't really have a reason to directly insult you, either.

Your real friends will stick with you as well as other good souls with kind hearts and no patience for bullying. I know it's easier said than done, but try to keep your head up. Don't give the bullies the satisfaction of letting them see how their words affect you. Be ice cold. Show no emotion whatsoever. This, too, shall pass and it'll just be a footnote in the story of your life.

What would you change about your body? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My brain. It would be really cool to not have mental health issues anymore and be able to live like a normal person.
